Hi, what happened to the mg42 mechanich(as well as all garrisoned troops)? Once I considered it a counter to blobs of all genere, now it won't even fire out of the garrisoned building? It won't even place facing the blob or the enemies. Just lost a game because my mgs didn't fire... Every garrisoned unit is now useless overbuffing indirectly every blob -I am not against blobs, everybody has his own tactic- but if the most effective counter is now useless what else can I do? Even schreks doesn't fire anymore out of buildings. Surely there are plenty of ways to handle with blobs -Nebel, tanks etc.- but I think mg42 is a key unit in the wehrmacht arsenal and needs to fixed -as well as every garrisoned unit-

Now with ineffective garrisoned troops it's so easy to play as brits that it isn't funny anymore.

Bubz the change is a relic change, effective use of the mg42 requires a little more tha leaving one on a flank or un supported.

We are looking at the change made by relic and considering it for its application to EIR, currently there are effective counters to british units and with changes in the mix any "percieved injustice" will be looked at as well.

there is a deley between switching the windows. relic will fix it in 2.600 which will come next week or some years later

While you look into this, can you tell me if those autohealing emplacements are a bug or you made it this way? Because I spend lots of my troops trying to kill those mortars/17 punders only to see that it is back to full healt 5 seconds later.

Ps: tell me some brits blob counters now that we're talking about it, because I am kinda new at fighting brits.

It´s an EIRR bug.

sniper spam..., the same tactic you use on vCoH for the same reason  .

Sniper versus a blob? Can't get it, in vCoh you use it cause you can retreat the sniper and quickly get back to kill the horde... plus brits are slow.

the emplacements are a bug that we  have been working on.

It isn't very hard in EiRR. In fact, its easier because there is so much open space for you to snipe across. I've done it in the replay I posted recently.

Just put units in this order

-------
Enemy

Volk/Gren/meatshield
MG
Sniper
-------

for now dont put your mgs in buildings, which means you spend a lot of stupid time microing them.

i dont get how it works now though, do i have to click on the building with the MG in it then right click outside to make sure it's facing that way? i think it's an unnecessary amount of micro, a unit in a building should know to switch windows and start shooting guys.

MGs have been shooting at a surprisingly long range lately, though. I seriously pondered if they put Heavy Support back in as an april fool's or smth, then forgot about it :S.

Because brits lack recon units.
